As far as the changes and new stuff is concerned in the Android Oreo, there is a lot to have a look at. The Android Oreo brings a UI overhaul for a number of applications and menus in the phone. The keyboard has been improved to work better now. There are new edge lightening features introduced for the Galaxy S8. You can now snooze or hide notifications on the lock-screen and also from the notifications panel. New custom color options have been introduced for the folders. The settings application is getting a new UI for the options inside its sections.
The app shortcuts have got better. Samsung has added some new options in the shortcut menu for the applications. Long pressing an application’s icon will let you perform some tasks inside an application without properly opening it now. For example, if you long tap the Maps application shortcut, you can select your way to your home straight away through the icon only. Dual Messenger, which was specific to a few smartphones only, has been made a standard feature in the Android Oreo update now. The overall performance and battery life of the phone have improved. Android Oreo has got a lot of other goodies that we will discover once we start using this firmware.
XDA recognized contributor Paradoxxx was able to get himself enrolled in the beta program. He got the Android Oreo running well on his Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950. Paradoxxx created a system dump using a TWRP recovery and uploaded it for other Galaxy S8 users.

Galaxy S8 users will have to flash the system dump to load the Oreo firmware on their phone now. Let’s go through the tutorial to install the Android Oreo Beta ROM on Samsung Galaxy S8 now.
